Question

Workflow for globally applying audio effects to clips / nested sequences

My workflow consists of taking multiple hourlong live music recordings, and and then extracting a series of clips out of them I am trying to do this the most efficient effiective way.

 

I like to process all of the audio upfront the same way for things like compression, noise reduction, etc. and then do the clip extraction. I'd like to do the clip extraction using nesting, but I'm finding that the resulting nested sequences don't retain any of the audio effects so I have re-add them at either the sequence, audio channel or clips within the sequence. Is there a good practice here -- Is it better in general to apply the effect to 1) the original clip 2) the original audio channel

    It's true that audio effects will not be nested. That is because audio effects are applied to the track, not the clip stage.

     

    Hope this helps.

    This still seems so insanely convoluted.  I have an hourlong Video recording with Audio I'd like to simply color grade / crop / process the audio and then chop into nested / subsequences without having to pull that subsequence into another sequence, re-add the audio FX chain to each sequence I want to render. Even creating / cloning my working Audio Mix Global FX and dragging the nested sequences endless concentration and thought. This should be SO easy, but it is decidedly not.

    @Matt_Stegner  ... any ideas?


    Not sure I understand. 

    Adding a realtime audio effects to the Mix track  of the source sequence (formerly called the Master track) will allows the audio effects to be heard on any nested sub-sequence that are cut out of the original sequence.
